suspension settings
 
Can anyone tell me what the factory settings are for an ST4S? There's nothing in the owners manual about them. could do with some advice about settings for 2up riding both with and with out luggage:puzzled:

Just checked settings in my manual...
Those on the PDF are ST4, for the 4S the front forks ( p26 ) are the same but for the rear shock, rebound is 14 clicks out, compression 14 clicks out & spring length 149.5mm - these all relate to the 2001 model year ST4S.
Cheers

Maybe there are diferent rear shocks that they use? My compression adjuster is under the seat, its not a piggy back unit and the adjuster doesnt have clicks!!

Yes...we ST4S owners have to contend with a remotely adjustable Ohlins you know.......:smug::smug::smug:

when i first got mine(st2)she had a habbit of eating the sides of the front tyre and bein a bit rough on real roads in corners
set the front up a fair bit softer and upped the rear ride hight and she was a new ride altogether

Its a hard life Andy, all that remote preload adjusting etc...;)

Ride height, hmm thats something i havent played with yet.

Guys
I found with my ST4s (2001) that it took some time to get it "right" and fiddling by myself with the settings via the riders manual was hopeless. In the end I consulted with a chap that knew what was what at Olins in Sweden - pdf's n 'phone calls did the job. That got it sorted front n back perfect for me - solo, panniered, in twisty alps and at high speed on motorways. Suspensions settings really are a black art!
